Arrr, happy birthday

Ellen! Don't forget to talk like a pirate today! Or at least make your students talk like pirates in observance of International Talk Like a Pirate Day. For more info on the holiday, check out Dave Barry's column which helped solidify the holiday John Baur and Mark Summers created. (Course, you can also check out wikipedia.) And if you feel the need to meet up with other pirates, you can find the nearest Pirate Meetup here. No, I'm not kidding. The local pirate chapter here has 8 members but for some reason they aren't meeting today. I guess Pirate Meetup members talk like pirates whenever they get together so September 19 is no different from any other day... Anyway, enough about pirates, happy day, happy year!!
